So it has arrived.
The greatest rock & pop fest to grace The Emerald Isle.
Who's going.
I'm going (just for the day) tomorrow. It's my first time.
The band I am really looking forward to seeing is my favourite band Keane, but I am also looking forward to seeing : The Script, Snow Patrol, and Lilly Allen.
Who are you looking forward to seeing ?
I'm going, camping for the weekend, heading up tomorrow morning. 2nd year in a row, but I cant help but feel the line up this year isn't as good as last year. There's actually very little worth seeing on Friday IMO. But sure it will be a bit of craic anyway! :D
The weathermen ain't making it sounds too hot for ye! :)
Yup, not looking good unfortunately. :( Just have to make the most of it though!Quote:

I've been to Glastonbury 4 times soccerc, and it rained for 3 of them. The first time I wasn't bothered in the least, the second time it was mildly annoying, the last time was... well, the last time. Next time I'm going to Roskilde, and I'm arriving in an RV to be sure to be sure. :)
I'm far too old for all that nonsense now so I'm going to see Springsteen instead.
Some good acts though, yeah yeah yeahs would be my hghlight.
Get yourself a Bongo.Quote:

You'd have really been better off going to the Smash Hits awards to be honest.Quote:

Go and see God is an Astronaut. I think they're on the Green Sphere stage on Saturday.
Sorry, but it's against my religion to drive something called a Bongo. Ditto Kangoo, and Multipla for good measure just because it looks like it should have an even worse name.Quote:

Bless.
Enjoy all who go there and keep your mucky (or even slightly clean) paws of my sister or you will have me to answer to!
I've just told my youngest to seek out and find baby magicme and to leave his fingerprints all over the innocent Monaghan lass. LOLQuote:

was planning on going on Sunday (mainly for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction) but after the one-two clusterfcuk that was Slane and AC/DC no way in hell would I give MCD another chance to cram too many people onto not enough buses and take 5 hours to do a journey I've done myself in under 60 minutes.
...in historic competition with what like? Beat On The Street feat. Electric Eddy?Quote:

Yet I have wilfully paid over money to attend two festivals since -one in Holland (actually I was strong armed into going to that one) where despite my discomfort the Dutch still managed to prove yet again that if they had Ireland they'd all be rich and if we had Holland we'd all drown.
Only other doorstep I darkened was Primavera in Barcelona where I refused to enter the ground til just before 11pm and Smashing Pumpkins arrival onstage. It was okay ....I timed it right.
If it must be done ...best done proper.Quote:

I actually suspect they and natasha bedingfield are one and the same entity that can somehow do an Optimus Prime and shapeshift ...think about it. :cool:Quote:

Don't think the line up looks all that great to be honest, I'd knock along to see the Saturdays alright, but thats purely for perving reasons.
Other than that I'd rather be raped than give MCD money for that horrible festival. Went once and thought that I'd happily die right now if someone would just drop a bomb on the place and kill everyone around me, and I hear it's actually gotten worse with each passing year:eek:
For all the talk of "completely sold out in record time", there are still tickets available, and the attendance isn't supposed to be much more than 70,000, with approx 10,000 going unsold.
Toutless.com has loads of weekend tickets available, and they can't give them away fast enough on 2fm and Phantom (and I presume Today FM)
